Treasure stories change with time. As a story is told throughout the years it is sometimes changed in the way it is told. It may be a small, misspoken statement, either made intentionally, or unintentionally, and it is that misspoken statement, that may be the one piece needed that could lead to that treasure.
That is why it is so important to do your research regarding the treasure you are looking for. There are many tools available to you. The Internet is a good place to start your research. Also visit the historical societies in the area you are searching. Many times they have information that can clarify a story about that treasure. Search for old books, old newspapers, old maps, anything that may help you.

Often I am asked if metal detectors should be used when searching for buried treasures. My answer is always the same.
Yes. However, do not purchase an expensive detector.
Too many times people new to treasure hunting spend more than they should on their first metal detector. You can buy a reliable detector for a few hundred dollars.
If you are interested in a metal detector or accessories, visit my online store.
Good luck! And have fun in your search for Arizona lost treasure.
